Gramercy Occult Society
The Gramercy Occult Society lies below the New York Public Library, in an upside-down library with reversed gravity UC E1·02:02:21. It is headed by Alejandro Ortiz, and the stone lions are its guardians UC E1·02:01:03. It manages the Umbral Engine, and the Clinton Hill Chantry is one of its branches UC E1·01:07:30 UC E1·01:07:20.
The Society is a group of wizards under Alejandro, whose members include Esther, and Orlando and Rovias are its guardians UC E3·00:13:16. It sits under the public library at Bryant Park, reached by stairs of "crazy M.C. Escher steps" UC E3·00:13:49. Alejandro tells the party the Order was created because of the danger of the dream realms UC E7·01:38:56. Ana and Amelia say "The Society has to come first" UC E7·01:47:01.
Nod's description of the Highway Hex shocks Alejandro, who knows it as the Society's concept UC E9·00:32:57. The Society has a Chamber of the Umbral Engine, a defence by monks, and loss of members UC E15·00:26:41. Alejandro's last words are about the Society UC E16·02:13:35. In the epilogue Kingston uses the Society's devices to find Ana and Amelia, and Esther becomes its head UC E17·01:44:35 UC E17·01:47:05.
